Somme pretty nice tidal interactions going on in the NGC474 galaxy and its neighboring galaxies. This #astrophotography is a collaborative work with @vbioret.bsky.social with around 31h of subs total. The night is dark and full of wonders 😇. Where do you put this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

Cette somptueuse prise par l'astrophotographe Engelbert Vollmer met en évidence le très faible halo d'étoiles entourangt la célèbre galaxie du Sombrero. On y voit des courants d'étoiles issues de collisions et de fusions de galaxies plus petites, par le passé. app.astrobin.com/u/Fox368?i=5...

We made the NY Times!!! 🤩 🔭🧪🎢
I'm back in The New York Times, with news that we might have spotted a first magnetic field on an exoplanet! If so it would be more than 2,000 times stronger than Earth's, and could be a key tool in future hunts for habitability. Exciting! www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/s...

Heart & Soul ❤️ IC 1805 + IC 1848 in a 3-panel HOO mosaic. Two nebulae, one frame, and 3 nights spent collecting photons from ~7,500 light-years away ✨ #Astrophotography What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
Full #Moon & #astrophotography don't make a good mix, except on star clusters or emission nebulae...so here goes for the Persei double cluster (NGC884 & NGC869) and the Horse Head #nebula (IC434) in H-alpha. Images shot yesterday. Aren't those cute 😊? What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

If @science.org is covering it, I guess I should share something here- we have for the first time definitively detected radio emission from a planet around another star! 🔭🧪🎢 What does this mean? Details in thread! (But TL;DR- still not aliens) 🧵 www.sciencenews.org/article/exop...

36h team effort on #NGC7217 and a HII region not usually photographed (but it is in the Finkbeiner Survey of H-alpha galactic emissions though - much more coarse though). #astrophotography is full of surprises 😇 What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ? www.astrobin.com/l4vyua/
D'ailleurs, in French, je ne sais pas si @philhena.bsky.social avec les milliers et milliers de photos qu'il a déjà pu voir de nos cieux a déjà remarqué cette nébuleuse à côté de NGC7217. Si oui ne pas hésiter à me le dire 😊 (je serai moins enthousiaste, mais plus réaliste)

Stacking amateur #astrophotography subs to get a better SNR also leads to photometry like here on the star HD189733 right next to M27, and witness an exoplanet transit that happened somewhere around 1962 😊 (09/19) Poke @pahcas.bsky.social 😇 who suggested this idea 😋 AIJ and HOPS curves attached!

Le diagramme que vous voyez ci-dessous est, si je ne me trompe pas, une première mondiale : la mesure par un astronome amateur des oscillations périodiques du soleil (toutes les 5 min environ). Je vous explique tout ça dans ce billet : melix.github.io/blog/2026/09... #astronomie #science
I thought I'd never be able to capture this faint #astrophotography target but then I discovered the wonderful world of Newtonian scopes 🙂. This is the Bat (SH2-129) and Squid #nebula (OU-4) after 20h of integration time, shot from my backyard. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

Here is my processed image of NGC 7331, a stunning spiral #galaxy located in the constellation Pegasus, about 23.6 million light-years away. This image reveals a Type Ia supernova (SN 2026aaiv), visible as a new point of light near the galaxy’s disk. 🔭🧪 www.rochesterastronomy.org/sn2026/sn202...

The more subs (22h in this case), the better the SNR, and more bubbly stuff pops out like the Soap Bubble nebula near the Crescent Nebula. This is a collaborative #astrophotography work with my friend Alex who's not on BS. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

I'm dazzled by the photon collecting power of an f/4 Newtonian scope with a 200mm mirror...this is just one night of #astrophotography 🔭📷 subs for the Dark Shark nebula (about 5 1/2 hours of LRGB data shot this past night from my backyard) 🦈. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
Quick #astrophotography trial on the galaxy NGC1961. It still needs more subs in luminance - just 3.5 hrs so far, but the satellite trails (a bit enhanced so they pop out) seem to say it's already too much 😢. It's crowded up there, stop sending #satellites 🥵 Where is this @quantumkat.bsky.social ?
oops....I meant to ask your astrometry bot @quantumkat.bsky.social where this was, not you, sorry 😬.

Nous avons observé Bételgeuse B avec le Very Large Telescope Européen ! Et cette fois, c'est une détection à 6 sigma !
Bételgeuse est une étoile double ! Sa compagne lui tourne autour en six ans et a été observée avec le Very Large Telescope au Chili. Voilà qui promet de fascinantes futures études... https://www.cieletespace.fr/article/le-vlt-confirme-la-presence-d-un-jeune-soleil-autour-de-betelgeuse

Thousands of stars are playing hide and seek in this 🔭📷 #astrophography of the dusty surroundings of LDN1082 🤩. 12 hours of integration shot from my backyard, supervized from my couch (feeling kind of fancy with a remote setup of my own ☺️). Can you plate-solve this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
Averaging individual frames and using a rejection algorithm can get rid of those pesky satellite trails to get a nice #astrophotography pic... Here's NGC2655 without pollution, shot over several nights from my backyard. What do you see @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
Here is roughly 8h of luminance data (over three nights this past week) with this #astrophotography of NGC2655 done without any rejection algorithm. There's a slight satellite trail pollution don't you think? This is sad, knowing that some companies are willing to make things even worse 😢.

The Flying Bat Nebula and the Giant Squid SH2-129 is a bright emission nebula in HII ~1300 ly away in Cepheus. The 2d one ("the squid") is a beautiful planetary nebula which is ~1000 ly behind SH2-129. Click on the link for the full resolution! app.astrobin.com/i/9feu0r?r=B #astrophotography
